Bridgestreet Libations and Temptations lends itself to the easy to remember acronym, BLT. Go there to enjoy a unique and comfortable setting with a quality dinner that at least matches the quality of several restaurants in the Farmington Valley or West Hartford. An out of town foodie friend researched and found BLT, just 15 minutes from Avon Mountain for us, locals who hadnât realized it was open. If youâre a skier, itâs 5 minutes from Ski Sundown. On a Saturday following the holidays, the bar area was full at 6p and the restaurant side where we sat was full shortly after that⦠not bad for a typically slow time for eating out immediately following the holidays. You wonât find a BLT on the dinner menu but you wonât miss that. The evening menu was not extensive but the choices were well tuned for winter dining for a variety of tastes. The red wine braised short rib lived up to hopes for a hearty dinner on a cold January Sunday. The short rib was flavorful and tender. It was served with a grilled oyster mushroom that Iâve not had elsewhere - very good matching with beef and root vegetables with potato puree. My companion selected the salmon, starting the new year with a healthy choice that did not disappoint. We shared the lardo toast as an appetizer and the chef was happy to tone down the garlic (the pickled vegetable added a tartness that worked for an appetizer, even though one of us would not usually like pickled anything). Oh - for cocktails, an espresso martini was spot-on, made, we were told, with a Vermont-sourced liqueur, no Baileys. The other drink, âNobody puts baby in the cornerâ was well named, but emphasized a briny component a bit much for tastes (to be fair, it was properly described and we may have been seduced by the clever name). I admired the casually elegant setting and appreciated the lighting - so many places get that wrong with too much white in modern lighting choices. BLT delivers good ambiance and satisfying dining that was not rushed. And a review would not be complete without reference to our excellent server, Brian. Attentive and cheerful, he engaged in just the right amount conversation and timing for checking back with us. The owner stopped by too, a local who has owned other restaurants. We will be back.
2. Better Half Bistro
Reviewed By tmf7150
On our first day of vacation while driving to our cottage rental, we happened upon this restaurant in the cute town of Pine Meadow. It was so good that we traveled the 30 minutes to stop there again on 3 other occasions during our week long trip. Liz helped us 3 of 4 times. She was very friendly and so helpful. It is a small cafe/deli with seating. You order at the counter. They have many options of breakfast items, salads, deli sandwiches, soups, and baked goods. The food is made in house (meat roasted or smoked in house, too). Loved the BHB Turkey Melt (smoked turkey, pepper jack, roasted peppers, on sour dough), the Rachel (a Reuben with slaw), the Hot Beef, and the pasta salads. We chose to take our food and picnic in nearby nature areas. The cinnamon roll and coffee cake were phenomenal! I was really hoping to get the recipes since we live so far away, but was too shy to ask. We loved this area of the country and fully appreciated this restaurant. We would highly recommend. This is a must stop!

Lasalle Market is still a wonderful place to have lunch and sit and relax. Very casual dining room mismatched tables and chairs that make the space interesting. Lots of local folks. Displayed in the dining area are works of local artists for sale. Food is very good. We shared a portobello sandwich: nicely prepared on very fresh bread. Great coffee and great selection of other beverages. Pizza baked in house available. Great lunch spot.

My wife and I were on our way to a movie in Barkhamsted (not our usual) and wanted to have breakfast on the way. Based on the reviews, and the convenient location, we chose McGranes. My breakfast wrap was generous and delicious, and my wife's breakfast sandwich was fine. But the reason for the five-star review is primarily due to the very friendly, kind and upbeat staff. Our server, and the woman who greeted us were contagiously upbeat and pleasant! Obviously popular with locals, we felt comfortable and well taken care of. Prices very reasonable also.

We stopped in for a hot meal on a cold night. The hot sandwiches were good and the hot chocolates with sprinkles and giant marshmallows were great. Sitting near the fireplace added a little winter atmosphere too. The total was a little more than expected but we still had a good meal here.
